You said yes, and we are glad you did. This site walks you from where you are now to your first day, then through your first weeks on programme, one clear step at a time.
What your employer has committed to, what TLC has committed to, and what is asked of you. All of it in writing, none of it a surprise.
Your training plan, your off-the-job hours inside paid time, the evidence you gather and the end-point assessment waiting at the far end.
Your skills coach, your mentor, your manager and TLC's safeguarding lead. Who they are, what they do and how to reach them.
Every apprenticeship at TLC follows the same line. You have already covered some of it. The sage marker shows where induction sits.
You told us you wanted to look at this properly. Done.
Maths, English and what you already know, so the programme fits you.
You, your employer and TLC agree the shape of it together.
The agreement in writing. Duration, delivery and protected time.
Your first weeks. Six parts, read in order, each with a pause to reflect.
Teaching, workplace practice, evidence and regular three-way reviews.
You, your employer and TLC agree you are ready to be assessed.
An independent assessor confirms what you can do.
Your qualification, earned in the job, recognised everywhere.
The next role, the next level or the next standard. Your call.
Three things happen between saying yes and starting. If you have already done some of them, this section is your record of what they were for.
Maths, English and the experience you already carry. Your programme has to teach you things that are new, so what you bring gets counted, and the plan is shaped or shortened to fit you.
Full guide coming soonYou, your employer and TLC around one table. What you will learn, when you will learn it, who teaches what, and who protects the time. Nothing is signed until you have heard all of it.
Full guide coming soonThe whole agreement in writing: duration, delivery, your off-the-job learning averaging at least six hours a week inside paid time, and what each of the three of you has committed to.
Full guide coming soonSix short parts, given to you as a handbook on day one and unpacked here as you go. Read them in order. Each one ends with a moment to write down what you have understood.
Welcome to TLC. Who we are, who you are to us, and the three-way partnership between you, your employer and TLC that carries the whole apprenticeship.
Coming soonHow it works in practice. Your training plan, your off-the-job hours, the evidence you gather along the way and the end-point assessment it all leads to.
Coming soonSafeguarding, wellbeing and integrity. Who keeps you safe, how to raise a concern, and the standards everyone on the programme holds to.
Coming soonThe module for your line of work. Culinary learners get Food is care, built with the Marco Pierre White Academy. Safeguarding and care learners get their own versions here.
Coming soonYour employer's part of the deal. How your job and your learning feed each other, and what your workplace has promised to make room for.
Coming soonPersonal to you and your level. Where you begin, what your first standard asks of you, and the first learning activity you will complete.
Coming soonYour direction, your commitments and what you bring, written down by you and kept somewhere you can return to. Work through it at your own pace.
Open your planWhen the six parts are done you stop for ten minutes and write down what you have understood, what you are unsure about and what you want from your first review. It becomes the first page of your progress story.
Coming soonFive people, five different jobs. Start with whoever fits the question, and if you pick the wrong one they will point you to the right one.
